Distributions

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2025

From February 1, 2014 through July 17, 2017, the Company’s board of directors authorized and declared on a monthly basis a weekly distribution amount per share of common stock. On July 18, 2017, the Company's board of directors authorized and declared on a quarterly basis a weekly distribution amount per share of common stock. Effective September 28, 2017, the Company's board of directors delegated to management the authority to determine the amount, record dates, payment dates and other terms of distributions to shareholders, which will be ratified by the board of directors on a quarterly basis. On September 15, 2021, management changed the timing of declaring and paying base distributions to shareholders from monthly to quarterly commencing with the fourth quarter of 2021. Base distributions in respect of future quarters and any supplemental or special distributions will be evaluated by management and the board of directors based on circumstances and expectations existing at the time of consideration.

The Company’s management declared and the Company's board of directors ratified distributions for 6 and 1 record dates during the year ended December 31, 2024 and the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively.

The following table presents distributions per share that were declared during the year ended December 31, 2024 and the three months ended March 31, 2025:

On May 5, 2025, the Company’s co-chief executive officers declared a quarterly base distribution of $0.36 per share for the second quarter of 2025 payable on June 16, 2025 to shareholders of record as of June 2, 2025.

On September 15, 2021, the Company adopted the DRP, which became effective as of the Listing. Shareholders enrolled in the DRP receive distributions as declared by the Company in additional shares of its common stock unless such shareholder affirmatively elects to receive an entire distribution in cash by notifying (i) such shareholder’s financial adviser; or (ii) if such shareholder has a registered account maintained at the Company’s transfer agent, the plan administrator. With respect to distributions to participating shareholders under the DRP, the Company reserves the right to either issue new shares or cause the plan administrator to purchase shares in the open market in connection with implementation of the DRP. Unless the Company, in its sole discretion, otherwise directs DST Asset Management Solutions, Inc., the plan administrator, (A) if the per share “market price” (as defined in the DRP) is equal to or greater than the estimated NAV per share on the payment date for the distribution, then the Company will issue shares at the greater of (i) the estimated NAV or (ii) 95% of the market price, or (B) if the market price is less than the estimated NAV, then, in the Company’s sole discretion, (i) shares will be purchased in open market transactions for the accounts of participating shareholders to the extent practicable, or (ii) the Company will issue shares at the estimated NAV. Pursuant to the terms of the DRP, the number of shares to be issued to a participating shareholder will be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to a participating shareholder by the price per share at which the Company issues such shares; provided, however, that shares purchased in open market transactions by the plan administrator will be allocated to a participating shareholder based on the weighted average purchase price, excluding any brokerage charges or other charges, of all shares purchased in the open market with respect to such distribution.

If a shareholder receives distributions in the form of common stock pursuant to the DRP, such shareholder generally will be subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as if they elected to receive distributions in cash. If the Company’s common stock is trading at or below NAV, a shareholder receiving distributions in the form of additional common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of cash that such shareholder would have received if they had elected to receive the distribution in cash. If the Company’s common stock is trading above NAV, a shareholder receiving distributions in the form of additional common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. The shareholder’s basis for determining gain or loss upon the sale of common stock received in a distribution will be equal to the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to the shareholder. Any stock received in a distribution will have a holding period for tax purposes commencing on the day following the day on which the shares of common stock are credited to the shareholder’s account.

(1) See the description of the DRP above.

The Company may fund its distributions to shareholders from any sources of funds available to the Company, including borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, and dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies. Any such distributions can only be sustained if the Company maintains positive investment performance in future periods. There can be no assurances that the Company will maintain such performance in order to sustain these distributions or be able to pay distributions at all. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions.

The following table reflects the sources of distributions on a GAAP basis that the Company has declared on its shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2024:


	Three Months Ended March 31,												Year Ended December 31,
	2025						2024						2024
Source of Distribution	Per Share		Amount		Percentage		Per Share		Amount		Percentage		Per Share		Amount		Percentage
Net investment income	$	0.36	$	19,149	100.0	%	$	0.34	$	18,279	100.0	%	$	1.52	$	81,308	100.0	%





Total distributions	$	0.36	$	19,149	100.0	%	$	0.34	$	18,279	100.0	%	$	1.52	$	81,308	100.0	%

It is the Company's policy to comply with all requirements of the Code applicable to RICs and to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income”, which is generally equal to the sum of the Company’s net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses, the Company intends not to be subject to corporate level federal income tax. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision was required for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company will also be subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes of 4% if the Company does not distribute at least 98.0% of net ordinary income, 98.2% of capital gains, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which it paid no federal income taxes.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with the Code and federal tax regulations, which may differ from amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. These book/tax differences, which could be material, are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investments held by the Company. Permanent book/tax differences result in reclassifications to capital in excess of par value, accumulated undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed realized gain on investments.

The determination of the tax attributes of the Company’s distributions is made annually as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year based upon the Company’s taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. The tax characteristics of distributions to shareholders are reported to shareholders annually on Form 1099-DIV. All distributions for 2024 were characterized as ordinary income distributions for federal income tax purposes.

The tax components of accumulated earnings or losses for the current year will be determined at year end. As of December 31, 2024, the components of accumulated losses on a tax basis were as follows:


	December 31, 2024
Undistributed ordinary income	$	2,607
Other accumulated losses(1)	(85,546)

Net unrealized depreciation on investments	(116,078)
Total accumulated losses	$	(199,017)

(1)Includes short term capital loss carryforwards of $0 and long term capital loss carryforwards of $82,446.

As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was $70,503; the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was $251,730; the net unrealized depreciation was $181,227; and the aggregate cost of securities for Federal income tax purposes was $2,026,887.

As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was $76,109; the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was $192,187; the net unrealized depreciation was $116,078; and the aggregate cost of securities for Federal income tax purposes was $2,004,766.
